With David Garrard out of the picture, the Jets are down to Mark Sanchez and rookie Geno Smith, plus Greg McElroy and Matt Simms. On paper, it’s a workable depth chart for the preseason. Thing is, GM John Idzik is always looking for competition, and he hasn’t slammed the door shut on adding another quarterback.

Here’s the problem: It won’t be easy to find a Garrard-type player, a savvy veteran with the ability to start a few games, if necessary, and the desire to serve as a mentor to Smith.

New York Jets running back Mike Goodson was arrested Friday morning on drug possession and weapon charges, according to the New Jersey state police. You can read the full story here.
